Position Overview & Specifications
The Student Development team is an outstanding part of an ambitious College, with highly dedicated and hardworking tutors. We are looking to appoint someone who will become an integral part of this proactive and skilled team and who will contribute to the excellent student experience. All students are allocated a personal tutor at the College. The team consists of eleven tutors and a co-ordinator – all of whom bring a broad skill-set and an enthusiasm for developing young peoples’ aspirations. There is a strong team ethos within the department and you will be fully supported by both other personal tutors and also by your line manager. This role is ideal for anyone who has the desire to make a positive impact on the lives of young people.
The Student Development team at the College are a team of dedicated and highly skilled tutors that ensure students make rapid progress whilst at the same time enjoying their studies. This therefore means the role of the tutor is very varied as students will present a wide array of differing needs and problems. You will therefore need to be able to quickly adapt to different situations and use a range of strategies to ensure students meet our expectations at College. The role entails the following: delivering weekly informative and highly relevant tutorials to each tutor group; offering advice, guidance and support to enable students to navigate College life effectively; monitoring and managing attendance and behaviour issues; liaising with parents/guardians where necessary; and preparing students for their next steps (including overseeing UCAS applications for all students). Tutors also form an integral part of the Admissions team and are responsible for interviewing prospective students at interview evenings and attending liaison activities at partner high schools (including some evenings).
